RE: No traffic lights! This is CRAZY!!!!
That's crazy!
But the video is sped up. Look at how fast/funny the people are walking.
The scariest car ride I've ever had was in a taxi in China. In Beijing, they've been expanding the roads and building huge highways. For whatever reason, they think that big wide roads is a symbol of progress and power. But instead of putting 5 or 6 lanes in a highway that could easily accomodate them, they just leave it at 3 or 4 REALLY WIDE ONES. As a result, everyone ignores the white lines and actually treats the lines as lanes by themselves!! That, in turn, results in the equivalent of a 6 lane highway packed full of swerving, merging, broken cars going 70 in one big mess. I took a taxi from the airport through all of that and I was sure several times that I was going to die.

Haha that looks like my home town (im not from china) except it's even more crazy. That's the most scariest thing to tourists(especially those come from US or Europe). I got used to it and actually drive like that when I come back for visit. You have to keep ur eyes wide open and have a very good maneuver skill.Lol
